• Determine your remote machine’s IP address - typically in a Linux Terminal using ipaddr or ifconfig. You may also use the Settings application depending on up your distribution and graphical desktop environment.

• Setup you remote machine to accept RDP and/or SSH connections.

• On your local machine, connect to the WVU VPN, then use a remote desktop client or SSH client to connect to the IP address of your remote machine.

• To transfer files between your remote and local system, please use a cloud storage app such as WVU Office 365's One Drive for Business or MiX Google Drive and store your files appropriately.
